I see you have plenty of answers already, but if you use the list of values that LilyPond uses internally \relative c'' { \override Stem #'details #'stem-shorten = #'(1.0 0.5) <d g b>16 \stemDown <d f, d> } then you might comment on the recommendation for improvement here <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2724> which will probably prompt some action. LilyPond's default is the list I typed above : shorten stems with zero flags by 1.0 staffspace, stems with one-or-more flags by 0.5 staff space. I guess you will like something closer to #'(1.0 0.3 0.2) where the extra entry is for stem with two-or-more flags _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
